April 5, 2023 write a poem in which laughter comes at what might otherwise seem an inappropriate moment – or one that the poem invites the reader to think of as inappropriate.
Pausing for a moment
As I walked across the snowy street
a furry orange object caught my eye
moving closer
I could see it was a paw
soft and small and petit
a furry orange object caught my eye
moving closer
I could see it was a paw
soft and small and petit
A poor cat had met its maker
and this was all that remained
I wondered how it would look
dangling from my key ring
When I was young
we all carried key chains
with a lucky rabbit's foot
with a lucky rabbit's foot
Not so lucky for the rabbit
or the potentially paw-less cat
